karta nahi hai pyaar koi pyaar ki tarah 
lagne laga hai pyaar bhi vyapaar ki tarah

ghar main sajay baitha hoon darbar ki tarah 
aaja tu mujh se mil ne mere yaar ki tarah

Basti mai ab hamari gareebi ko chod kar 
sab kuch badal gaya nayi sarkar ki tarah

main jeet to gaya hoonmagar tum se jeet kar
ye jeet lag rahi hai mujhe har ki tarah

sach baat sun na pao ge main kah bhi don agar
Chubhne lagaige lafz bhi talwaar ki tarah

Is sar zamin se zulm mitane ke waste 
aaye ga koi fir usi kirdar ki tarah

Samjha nahi hai koi bhi padne ke baad bhi 
sab ne pada hai bas mujhe akhbaar ki tarah

Mahir ghazal suna ke zamane ko aaj fir 
ham ne bhi daad mang li haqdaar ki tarah
